Clarinet Fingering Chart
This fingering chart includes both basic fingerings and alternatives that are
more appropriate in some passages. Some alternate fingerings are designed
for fast passages, while others modify the tone, color, or pitch at normal and
extreme dynamic levels. These fingerings apply to all sizes of Boehm-system
clarinet unless specified otherwise. There is also an alternate fingering chart
for Boehm-system alto, bass, and contrabass clarinet, which includes
additional alternate chalumeau and altissimo fingerings for those models.
